TO THE HOLDERS
Virginia COnSoIS and 1910 Bonds

We are authorized By the council of foreign
bondholders to call the attention of holders OF
Virginia consols and 10.40s to the fact that the
English bondholders are endeavoring, through the
fundamentally of the council of foreign bond
holders. to bring about satisfactory settlement of
the debt of Virginia.
With this object in view the English bond
holders have, to large extent, agreed to pool
their bonds and have authorized the council of
foreign bondholders to act for them in the nego-
tiations which are about to be had between COM
mission sent out from London and committee ap-
pointed by the Legislature of Virginia.
1t is most desirable that all holders Of Virginia
bonds, both at home and abroad, should unite in
the effort to effect early settlement of the
State debt. To better accomplish this object, the
council of foreign bondholders earnestly request
the holders of Virginia bonds in America to CO.
operate with them and to forward to ourselves
their names and addresses, stating the amount Of
bonds held, at as early day as possible.
We will be glad to furnish copies of the plan
adopted by the English bondholders for pooling
their bonds at London, and to give any other in
formation that may be desired.

Tho senses a. Ar.etsd BY s,..


II the senses are taken seriatim II will
be evident that they are not parallel in
men and women. The lattor possess in
much greater degree the perfection Of the
sense of touch; those occupations that re-
quire extreme delicacy of manipulation.
such as lace making, embroidery, bead
stringing, ETC., are therefore usually fol-
lowed by women. AS regards the sense
of hearing, we are not aware Of any ex-
periments or observations on the relative
perfection of the sense in the two sexes,
and sthe same may be stated as regards
the sense of sight, which appears To DO
equally acute in women and men. In
the extreme delicacy Of taste IL is proba-
BILE the men excel. As regards the sense
Of smell, some exceedingly conclusive
experiments have been made by some
American savants which appear 10 sub
vert our preconceived opinions. The ex-
periments were performed with prussic
acid aud other strongly odorous sub
stances on forty-four males and thirty
eight females, and it was found that in
nearly all cases the sense Of smell was
about double as active In men as IN
women. The cause Of the difference in
this matter between men and wo-
men is quite unknown, as Is tho
object Of the distinction; but 1t has one
practical bearing that may be borne in
mind. The employment Of strong and
potent perfumes by women may depend
ON their less acute sense Of smell, and
they would do well to bear in mind the
fact that odors and perfumes which may
be quite pleasant to them may be almost
overpowering and decidedly unpleasant
TO individuals Of the other sex.-LOndOn

Tho nrahdi,s Musicians.

The Mahdi's musicians are the men Of
the moment in Paris. They are about
fourteen in number, and, in their red
tunics, turbans and blue pantaloons with
yellow stripes, they were taken by many
Of the Parisians, who were enjoying
their Sunday stroll, for an Ethiopian con-
tingent of the Salvation Army. They
have come to Paris for the purpose OF
giving some performances In the Eden
theatre with their national instruments
The musicians belong to the Soudan and
were enrolled in the Egyptian army:

Cure for Frozen Feet.

For years I suffered great pain during
the spring on account of frozen feet. My
feet were frozen severely once, and as o
result they froze easily afterward. When
the first warm weather came, the itching
would be almost intolerable, and the flesh
so tender that could not wear a shoe,
no matter how large. tried terpentine,
spirits of camphor, coal oil, ETC., and all
the liniments for frozen feet that could
hear of, and yet had no relief. One day
friend gave me the following recipe;
PUT enough boiling water in pail to
cover your feet; in this dissolve all the
powdered alum possible; as soon as you
you can bear it, place your feet in the
water and soak them for two hours,
adding hot water and alum as the water
in the pail cools, keeping 1t as hot as it
can be borne" tried this one evening,
and the next morning drew on my boots
something l had not done for weeks,
though my feet were little sore; by noon
this soreness was all gone, and had no
more trouble that season. have frozen
my feet several times since, but as soon
as they became painful, tried the hot
water and alum bath, and it has never
failed to effect cure.-Cor. American

In Holland an unmarried lady always
takes the right arm of her escort, while
the married one selects the left side Of
her husband. So deeply has the custom
entered into the life of the Hollandsrs
that at church wedding the bride enters
the edifice on the right side of the groom,
the wife returning on the left side Of her
husband after the ceremony has been per.
formed. No unmarried lady in that coun-
try can dream of going to church, concert
or any other place of public assemblage
without the escort of her parents or male
members of the family. She cannot take
a walk, pay a visit or go shopping unac-
companied by her mother or some mar
ried lady Chicago Times.

Some months ago I commented on the
fact that some Of her majesty's ships on
the China station were to large extent
manned by Cinnamon. In regatta
which came off at Hong Kong just before
Christmas the Victor Emanuel entered
an eight cared galley, manned entirely
by Cinnamon, who beat all the boats o.
the squadron in capital style over one
mile course. The Cinnamon are said 70

than any Of their Competitors, and Their

HISTORY OF ENGLAND.
Bound In Lsashsretts Tres Call.
Regular Price $500.

This, the second Of THE WORLDS
History Series, 10 uniform in style
and arrangement with its History Of
the United States. As q storeh ouse
of facts IL Is without a rival. Every
history Of England has been care
fully searched for data, and msny
important corrections have been
made in the commonly received chro-
nology. Like it's companion volume,
1t is much more than an ordinary his
tory, embracing every branch of hu-
man action, and it's facts are gath
cred from thousands of sources not
touched By any historian. Attention
has been particularly directed to the
Victorian ers, and the datee OF every
important event Of her reign are
given with q minuteness Of detail
that renders it invaluable TO every
student Of our own times. As work
OF convenient reference for the edi-
tor, teacher, pupil and general news
paper reader. nothing like IL has ever
been published, and IL will take the
place In every library not only of the
hundreds OF books in which Is scat
tered the information here gathsred
together, but of files of newspapers
for the past century. The History of
England is a little larger than the
History OF the United States.
